MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / July 2006Barcode Printign
Hi, I have installed barcode fonts in fonts folder and merged a form letter nearly 1000 pages with converting one field into barcode field, real trouble is that after taking prints the barcode is printed but it is not recongised by the barcode scanner. how can i solve this problem.as I want to print 1 lakh A4 letters with one unique field as barcode. and the barcode merge field is like RBOR00232323 and the merge data is from excel sheet...any body help plzz.. Regards, Safi. Assuming "RBOR00232323" is a value in your data source... a. Do you have an application that can print the barcode corresponding to "RBOR00232323" in a way that the scanner can recognise? b. if so, what is the difference between the barcode generated in that way and the one produced in Word? (In particular, does "RBOR00232323" contain the checksum digits/characters that a barcode system would expect to see? Barcode-aware software would probably generate them, but Word does not, so if they are missing you may need to work out how to add them to your data) Peter Jamieson > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Regards, > Safi. Hi, a.yes the scanner reconiges b.I have done this by placing * before and after my data i,e RBOR00232323 and the scanner does not reconiges. I don't know how can it be done and what is the checksum charector? I am using 3 of 9. > Assuming "RBOR00232323" is a value in your data source... > a.

I suggest you follow the link provided by macropod in his reply: http://www.idautomation.com/ It seems to have relevant information and code for generating check digits. > b.I have done this by placing * before and after my data i,e RBOR00232323 > and the scanner does not reconiges. What is the difference between the two: a. if the difference is that the bar code "looks different", then I would guess that you need a check digit b. if the difference is in the size of the barcode, then maybe the barcode characters in Word are the wrong size and need to be re-sized. Peter Jamieson > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >> > Regards, >> > Safi. Hi Safi, What type of barcode are you using (eg Code 128, Code 3of9)? Some, like Code 128, must be encoded; others, like Code 3of9, don't require encoding, but they must start & end with an asterisk and may include a check character (eg, Code 3of9 sometimes uses a MOD43 check character). See the barcode FAQ at http://www.idautomation.com/ for more details of each barcode's requirements.
